DE:HR is getting to the tempting price-point but I do believe I can hold off for summer or winter even though I just finished DE:GOTY which was a condition of mine before considering HR. FPS back-log still has a number of titles to knock off it and by summer or winter it may be to the 5 dollar price point. Yay backlog money savings.

I'm glad someone is obeying my edict.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Check your guys' stats and if you are blessed with anyone with a high throwing skill off the bat, invest in grenades. Cheap, powerful and you don't have to be too accurate. Everyone else should bring standard rifles, or strength permitting, heavy cannons. Research armor and plasma weapons when you can. Motion tracker is worthless, as are most laser weapons, but I usually research laser pistol as a early-mid game back up weapon, in case you run out of plasma ammo. And don't mess with terror sites early on unless you're really confident in your tech and squad. You're better off just landing and immediately retreating. You get the points for "trying" instead of just ignoring it and letting them establish a base.
This is so much bad advice.
Grenades are good, but it doesn't take a high throwing skill to use them because, as mentioned, you don't even have to be particularly accurate to get your taget. Give them to *everyone*. Bring flares if you'll be fighting at night, and toss them out liberally.
Heavy Cannons suck; autocannons do everything they do, but better.
Motion Trackers are invaluable for figuring out where the aliens are in a crashed spaceship or building before you open the door and get everyone killed.
Laser weapons are damn accurate, fast firing, cheap to mass-produce, and have unlimited ammo. They'll be your mainstay rifle for a large part of the game, and laser pistols are excellent sidearms for the people running around with heavy weapons (autocannons and rocket-launchers). You won't have enough heavy plasma for a long, long time to outfit everyone with that.
Terror sites are not *that* bad, but yes, an immediate dustoff is better for your score than not responding at all, but unless you're getting mind-screwed (or eaten), you can succeed at them. Just don't try to do it at night.
I admit to buying too many games. I may even admit to going after sales/contest for games I may never play, or knew that I wanted. This thread has changed me.

Wait... I thought Terror Sites could only be cleared at night, no? If you can I might as well try YET AGAIN to play (And certainly fail) a playthrough of X-Com.

Why would you WANT to clear terror missions at night? There is no benefit, only pain awaits at nighttime terror missions.
I can't afford to be buying a managerial sim game right now with assassins creed brotherhood up next for completion. Finished 2 last night and wanna see what brotherhood holds in store.
That said, I don't wanna overdo it with the series either...... AAAAARGH! Can't believe I'm contemplating this.

It's not like I wanted to, but every time I tried to wait until it was daylight at a terror mission site, by the time it was morning the ship had left, I would usually just land, scout a bit and bail if the aliens were too strong.
I admit to eyeing Amazon's deals on Football Manager 2012 and Sword of the Stars 2.
Might want to check the Sword of the Stars thread, the game was completely broken at release and last I saw, still wasn't entirely fixed.
Thanks captaink, I admit to having followed the thread for a while, and apparently it's "one or two patches" from release status. I have no doubt that it will eventually be a good game, and 8 bucks is a good price point that we probably will not see undercut by Steam unless it comes up as $5 during the summer/winter sales.
Oh man. Borderlands is on sale. Steam is doing it again.
Is anyone up for going in on a 4 pack? or should I just spend the couple extra bucks for the GOTY. How's the DLC? Worth it?
edit: oh man, even the GOTY has a 4 pack deal. And apparently it's 2K games week.
The DLC is great, and Knoxx is one of the pinnacles of "This is how you do DLC right."
I can gush about Borderlands for days. It came almost out of nowhere, was a completely original IP, had fantastic shooting and loot, and aside from a few flaws in the execution it got the most hours of playtime from me of any game in the last three years that wasn't an RPG, and was a complete blast to play co-op multiplayer with 3 buddies.
Thankfully today it's things I own. so steam isn't fucking with me today. Though it might for the rest of the weekend. I'm predicting a 50% off the darkness 2.
I wanted to enjoy Prototype, but it just made me nostalgic for Hulk Ultimate Destruction.

How the hell is Prototype still $30. Insanity.
Yeah, Borderlands is great fun with other people. I found it so-so by myself. I've only played with 1 other person (we have a regular Sunday game going), but even just that is so much fun.

Excellent, you've passed the classy crab on new pages inspection.
Carry on, gents.
Also, you should get Human Revolution for sure, @Kadoken. I didn't enjoy it as much as most people did, but I still had a real blast with it.
I liked it on 360, but I couldn't stand it when I rented it. Apparently game devs nowadays love HD tvs and hate older CRT's. With my monitor, I'm sure I could actually play it, and read text. That is the greatest offender in my opinion. Let us gamers that have older tv's be able to make text bigger.

Prototype is basically just a reskin of Hulk Ultimate Destruction but that's the exact reason I love it, that and running up a building dressed as a granny
it's £7.49 in UK so anyone that wants it is probably best going through somebody over here

Excellent, Mafia bought, and will insta-buy Bioshock if it has a day.
Don't buy anything yet! Pretty much everything 2K is 50% off right now. This is just like the summer/winter sales. Everything is partially discounted with the chance of being a daily super discount. Wait until Sunday afternoon/Monday morning.

Civ 5 is 2K, correct? It's 50% off right now. I wonder if it'll get it's own day.
If I buy Borderlands is there anyone to play with me? Like new guys since my level will obviously be so low.
I had it for PS3 at one point, but always had to go solo since none of my friends had it.
I haven't done the dlc yet so I would be fine with starting up a new character for a fresh play-through. Add me on steam if your interested (if your not on the list already:) .. if you are just drop me a msg.).

In my experience, being drunk well generate one of the 3 traits listed above.

so no one else finds this 15% extra discount for classiness interesting?

I saw that and thought of it as the 'Handgimp Discount'.

I consider the Classy Crab a sub-Newell and therefore to be served.
Also, I approve of the text under your avatar.
It's my new favorite Tubeism. I have you largely to thank for that. :^:

It's not just a Borderlands sale. It's a 2k Games Weekend Sale. I think I have everything I want from 2k at the moment though.

I'm tempted. It just looks to scratch that nerdy stats itch.
How much is Prototype at 50% off? I really enjoyed it and would not mind playing it over before the sequel comes out.
Just be warned, you will need to set up reminders to do things like...sleep and eat.
